Plans for a guesthouse-type hotel on the quayside to replace the demolished OSAO building

Oulu's Pikisaari OSAO school building to be demolished.
The former OSAO premises to be demolished are shown on the left side of the picture as an extension of the parking area.

This is Soili Eskola, entrepreneur of Sokeri-Jussin Kievar. The other six buildings in Pikisaari will remain in their current use.

The former OSAO school building in the Pikisaari area will be demolished this year and a guesthouse-type hotel is planned for the area.

Built in the 1980s, the former OSAO school building was previously closed due to indoor air problems. A demolition permit has already been obtained and demolition work is planned for autumn 2023.

– The entrepreneur of Sokeri-Jussi will buy the building rights of the building to be demolished and build a hotel on the site, if the zoning change is approved, says Helander.

The plan change will be discussed in future meetings of the community board.
